ArmInfo. Alongside external serious challenges and Azerbaijani pressure, Armenia is also threatened by the prospect of continued power usurpation by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and severe internal civil clashes, according to former Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskaniyan. The diplomat noted that  given the tragic, disastrous, and nightmarish situation Armenia  currently faces, representatives of socio-political circles are  putting forward various hypotheses about who brought Pashinyan to  power, ranging from conspiracy theories to the hand of a powerful  "third force".
